Posted by Clark The Arab said, "Please, I'm dying of thirst. Can I have some water?"

An Arab was walking through the Sahara Desert, desperate for water, when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he walked towards the mirage, only to find a little Jewish man sitting at a table with a bunch of neckties laid out.
The little Jewish man said, "I don't have any water, but why don't you buy a tie. Here's one that goes nicely with your robe."
The Arab replied, "I don't want a tie, you idiot! I want water."
The little Jewish man said, "Okay, Don't buy a tie. But to show you what a nice man I am, I'll tell you that two miles over that hill is a nice restaurant that will give you all the water you want."
The Arab thanked him and walked away towards the hill and eventually disappeared. Three hours later, the Arab came crawling back to where the man was sitting at his card table.
The Jewish man said, "I told you, about two miles over that hill. Couldn't you find it?"
The Arab rasped, "I found it all right. Your brother wouldn't let me in without a tie."
